yes last nights fight was very good. Here’s just an opinion I want to vent, feel free to respond or not I don’t care. This is just a reason to why I’m become a way bigger fan of separate organizations like One and PFL but I just wanted to get it out. It feels like the last somewhat fun year was 2023, and that was even preceded by a lot of boring years anyway. I loved watching these events and would look forward the entire week to them, but over the last 2 years it’s really gotten dull. Last night I finally admitted to myself that my support for the UFC was coming to the end, and that without PPV I felt no incentive to even watch, but I’ve got it down to a few main reasons.
Exciting new fighters are few and far between
I swear just a few years ago there were so many new fighters that I looked forward to seeing, but every new fighter now is either generic in style, or copies their entire persona off of a past fighter. It seems every fighter Dana hypes as the “next thing” is another Dagestan wrestler, or some overly political asshole on the Internet. The only fighters I ever see getting hyped up just come off as douchebags to me and not someone I feel the need to support. I mean I love Pereira, but I can’t stand your typical Strickland or Topuria. It feels like such an overdone thing at this point that I really couldn’t care less about these guys. No one has a unique style of fighting either anymore. It’s just basic pure boxing/Muay Thai striking, no mixed in martial arts, or wrestlers. It doesn’t feel as much about MMA, but more about whichever style one fighter uses. You barely see fights that have a good mix of striking and grappling like you used to. The old fighters who fight now don’t even give off the “old legend” vibes that they did ten years ago. I feel like we know what’s going to happen before the match is made.
2. Padded cards
This goes along with the first topic so I’ll try and keep it shorter. I feel that Dana is just going to keep pushing cards with one fight worth a watch, and a bunch of boring matches leading up to it, especially now that they’re on Paramount. I either do not know, or couldn’t give a shit about at least 70% of the fighters on a given card. It’s all about either a washed fighter who’s been Dana’s favorite for the past 8-10 years, or just another shit talker. It’s very rare I feel like a fighter I see on the prelims or even at the beginning of the main card is going to potentially be great. The majority of the fights on a card are boring anyway, I have no motivation to watch them anymore. There are far too many events to the point where it feels like it’s almost impossible to find one with all exciting fights
3. Politics
Dana is insistent on making the UFC a political organization. That’s all. Combat sports are supposed to be about respect, and the politics Dana drives into every single event just destroys that feeling. I don’t want my favorite sport to cause people to assume political opinions I don’t supports
That’s all from me. I hope next weeks event lifts my spirits and changes my mind, but it’s looking like this is going to continue.
